Secretary of state races in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and other states could prove pivotal to the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. Stakes have never been higher, in part due to the role played by Brad Raffensperger of Georgia in the 2020 presidential race. During an hour-long conference call on Jan. 2, 2021, President Donald Trump pressured Raffensperger into “finding him votes” despite Raffensperger’s claims that there were no errors in Georgia’s electoral count, which favored Joe Biden by a margin of 0.23%. Because the phone call occurred the same week as the two Georgia Senate elections and just a few days before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, much of the coverage of that call got lost, even as its contents were used in Trump’s second impeachment. Now, Raffensperger looks to set the record straight in his book, “Integrity Counts.”
